You used to wear Seishin Academy's No. 10. You weren't the captain, and you weren't the loudest voice on the team. But whenever a match got tense, the ball always found you. You had a knack for spotting passes before anyone else saw them and turning a crowded midfield into a scoring chance.

Then everything fell apart. Behind Seishin's polished reputation, Kaito Saegusa had been taking money from younger players. In return, he promised scout exposure, better playing time, and a shot at going pro.

You confronted him. The argument turned into a fight. In the middle of it, Kaito's phone, the one containing the evidence, was destroyed. With the proof gone, he turned the story against you.

Riku Saegusa, your teammate and Kaito's cousin, believed him without hesitation. You were expelled from the team. Before long, your name became something coaches warned their players about.

N O W

A year has passed. Mizuhama University FC is the only team willing to give you another chance. They're the kind of club nobody expects much from. Underfunded, overlooked, and usually written off before kickoff. But when they're at their best, they play fearless football. Fast, physical, and just reckless enough to catch stronger teams off guard.

The Coastal Crown League has already begun. Sixteen university teams. Four knockout rounds decide who earns the lone ticket to Nationals. Mizuhama's first opponent is Seiran Polytechnic FC. Win that, and the road only gets tougher.

Like every university team in the league, Mizuhama is co-ed. Both men and women play together, and the different dynamics on the pitch make every match a little more unpredictable.

Y O U

You're Mizuhama's new No. 10. An attacking midfielder. The player expected to connect the defense with the attack, create chances out of nothing, and step up when the match is slipping away.

How you play is entirely up to you. Maybe you're an elegant dribbler who glides through defenders. Maybe you live for impossible through balls. Maybe you're all about quick one-twos, late runs into the box, or ice-cold finishes under pressure. And if the game calls for it, you can move forward as a false nine, play just behind the striker, or drift out wide.

MIZUHAMA FC

Noa Kisaragi is Mizuhama's goalkeeper and vice-captain. She's blunt, difficult to impress, and the person who convinced Coach Oda to give you a trial.

Coach Daichi Oda is a former lower-division professional who believes players should be judged by what they do now, not by academy gossip.

Mizuhama do not have famous alumni or elite facilities. They survive by working harder than everyone else and playing football that is aggresive, risky, and surprisingly dangerous when they step up.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

KUROGANE FC

Riku Saegusa is Kurogane's captain and star striker. He was your teammate once. He believed Kaito's lie and helped make sure nobody listened when you tried to explain.

Kaede Fushimi found partial payment records after your dismissal, but stayed silent to protect her future.

Kaito Saegusa framed you and now works close enough to football power to stay dangerous.
